Hello.

Just finished reading the two following books -

Fishers Of Men (Rob Lewis)

Operation Mincemeat (Ben Macintyre)

Fishes of men was recommended to me by an old friend who spent the 70s and early 80s as part of the intelligence corps in NI. A very interesting and fun read on a subject not usually covered about all the source handlers and surveillance ops in NI at the time.

Operation Mincemeat (as I'm sure you are all aware) is the Operation from WW2 where a body was planted in the sea close to Sardinia with false papers in the hope to fool the enemy into thinking the real target would not be invaded. It includes a lot of reference and good prints of original documents and is really very interesting.
